Gift for a girl
Girls are often very demanding when it comes to gifts, and to please the little princess, there is another way to create a more complex but attractive cake.
Don't miss any detail because putting this cake together is a painstaking job that requires a lot of effort.
Mass of papier mache
In modern stores you can buy ready-made papier-mâché, but it is easy to prepare it yourself. Cooking steps:
- Dilute PVA with water in a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2. Papier-mâché glue should be similar in consistency to milk. Too liquid will not be sticky enough, too viscous will make the mixture thick.
- Finely tear the paper and place it in a thin layer on the bottom of the bowl. Pour glue so that it covers all the paper.
- Place the next layer of paper on top and fill it with glue, making sure that there are no dry gaps.
- Repeat until the plate is filled with the paper-glue mixture.
- Lightly press the mixture with your hands to compact it and expel any air bubbles. Pour a thin layer of glue on top.
- Place the plate with the mixture in a cool place overnight.
- In the morning, check the readiness of the mixture by stirring it with a spoon. The paper should soften, making the mixture homogeneous.
- If there are thick lumps or dry pieces of paper left in the mixture, you need to add glue and leave it for another night.
The prepared mass for papier-mâché can be used within 2-3 days.
If it starts to dry out, you need to add glue and mix until smooth.
Now you can move on to creating a kinder surprise:
- Inflate the balloon and tie it tightly with thread. The ball should be egg-shaped: round, slightly elongated.
- Place the ball in a bowl to make it easier to apply the mixture.
- Cut dry paper into strips, moisten it with water and cover the surface of the ball. This must be done quickly, otherwise the water will dry out and the paper will peel off. To prevent this from happening, the glued strips should be lightly sprayed with water while working.
- The ball must be completely covered with paper. The strips should be glued overlapping, and additional pieces of paper should be glued to the joints on top of the main layer.
- Start applying papier-mâché to the damp paper. Move from top to bottom, applying the mixture in small portions and spreading in a thin layer.
- You need to cover the entire ball with the mixture, leaving only the tail outside. Leave the egg overnight so that the glue dries and the papier-mâché becomes strong. You cannot remove the ball from the bowl - the mass may flow down.
- The papier-mâché on the top of the ball will dry out faster, so after 2-3 hours the ball needs to be turned over. This way the mixture will dry evenly. The process will speed up if you place the ball next to a battery or other heat source.
- When the papier-mâché is completely dry, you can apply another layer on top for strength. Before applying, moisten the bottom layer with glue, otherwise the top layer will fall off.
- The finished egg can be treated with sandpaper - its surface will become perfectly smooth. But if the wrapping paper will be glued on top, you can leave it that way.
- Cut off the tail of the ball to release the air from it. Cover the hole with paper.
- Carefully cut the egg in half or cut a door in it through which you can put a gift.
- Remove any remaining balls from the sides of the egg.
Now you can move on to decorating
The egg must be primed with white paint on all sides. When it dries, color it as you wish or repeat the design from the branded packaging. Wait until the paint is completely dry and stick on the inscriptions. To make the egg look more festive, you can decorate it with rhinestones, stickers, and ribbon bows.
You need to put a surprise inside the finished egg, connect the halves (or put the door in place) and carefully glue them with tape. Decorate the gluing area with a beautiful ribbon.
How to make a kinder surprise from papier-mâché is shown in this video:
Basket of Kinder surprise bars
To create such a basket you will need corrugated paper, a small piece of foam plastic, hot glue, satin ribbons, candy bars and double-sided tape.
Heart-shaped basket of Kinder bars
Cut out a heart of the desired size from foam plastic. Cover the finished heart with corrugated paper. This paper is very easily deformed, so wrapping a foam heart will not be difficult for you.
Now take double-sided tape and stick a piece on each bar, then tear off the label on the other side of the tape and stick all the bars on the sides of the heart. I didn’t mention it above, the thickness of the heart should be half the height of the bars in order to ultimately form a basket.
When the basket is ready, tie a beautiful satin ribbon for security and a more festive look. The basket is ready, now you can put the same kinder surprises or chocolates in it.
How to make a basket of Kinder bars
To prepare such a kinder surprise you will need
- dry gypsum mixture;
- water;
- paper;
- glue;
- spatula or spoon;
- small handsaw or long paper cutter;
- balloon;
- 4 craft magnets;
- gloves;
- sandpaper,
- gouache or acrylic paints, inscriptions and pictures for decoration.
The balloon must be inflated to a suitable size and tied with strong thread. Tear the paper into small pieces, soak it in glue and cover the ball in 2-3 layers. After each layer, you need to wait until the glue is completely dry, and only then apply the next one. When the top layer is dry, use a knife to cut a small hole, pierce the ball and pull out the pieces. Cover the hole with paper to prevent the plaster mixture from getting inside.
The gypsum mixture must be prepared following the instructions indicated on the package. It is important to strictly observe the proportions of the dry mixture and water, otherwise the solution will turn out to be too liquid or too viscous. The solution hardens instantly, so you need to act quickly: apply it to the egg in a thin layer and smooth it out. You need to wear gloves when working: the gypsum mixture sticks to your hands.
When the plaster is dry, you can proceed to processing the egg.
- Using sandpaper, use gentle circular movements to sand the surface of the egg until smooth.
- Cut or saw the egg. It is more convenient to make a cross-section, closer to the narrow side of the egg. You will get 2 parts: a deep container and a lid.
- Glue 2 magnets inside the egg next to the cut, placing them one opposite the other. Glue 2 more magnets to the lid, placing them opposite the magnets in the egg.
- Cover the magnets with paper.
- Paint the egg, stick on inscriptions and pictures.

Now all that remains is to put the gift inside - and you can give the egg to the baby. To make the surprise even more unexpected, the egg can be hidden in a box or opaque bag.
Preparation of materials
The main element of sweet compositions are chocolate eggs. Their number is determined by the expected size of the bouquet. You should work with them carefully. The chocolate layer is very thin and can break or melt from prolonged contact with your hands.
The stem can be made from the following items:
- wooden skewers;
- wire;
- holders for balloons.
You will also need corrugated paper. It is imperative to purchase a green paper roll and several bright shades to create colors and design.
Bouquets can be made using organza, decorative nets and films, and sisal. Floral and fabric ribbons, beads, rhinestones, and toys are used for decoration.
All elements are attached using glue, double-sided and transparent tape, wire, thread and needles. When choosing a mounting method, you should take into account that all bouquets of candy will have to be disassembled into pieces. You can use foam, paper or plastic balls as a frame.
To create bouquets and compositions, you may also need baskets, vases, flower pots, cardboard cylinders, narrow plastic tubes, openwork paper napkins, lace, and so on. The choice of base and decorative elements depends on the imagination of the author and the preferences of the recipient of the sweet surprise.
How to make a kinder surprise from chocolate?
Another option for a homemade surprise is a large chocolate egg. Such a gift is not only interesting, but also very tasty. And if you put sweets or small toys inside the egg, it will become just like store-bought, only much better.
Easter basket
If you glue a hat box and paint it like straw, you can easily imitate a wicker basket. Having lined the bottom with dry grass, place kinders, small toys, flowers, artificial berries, fruits (fresh citruses) there. This will make a great Easter gift.
We braid the handle from wire with a beautiful braid, thin willow twigs. We decorate it with beads and small candies of a similar brand. Come up with the most picturesque options. Don't hold back your imagination.
To prepare an egg you will need
- 10-15 bars of dark chocolate
- 10 white chocolate bars;
- cream injector;
- hair dryer;
- filling mold or balloon;
- a pair of rubber gloves;
- deep plate, spoon.
You need to decide what will be used for filling - a special silicone or plastic mold, consisting of two halves, or a ball. Of course, it’s easier to work with a ready-made form. But to find it, you will have to go shopping or order it online. The ball is a cheap and accessible replacement, but working with it will require care.
The egg will harden in the refrigerator, this must be taken into account: if the surprise turns out to be too large, it may not fit between the shelves.
Cooking an egg in a mold
First you need to prepare the chocolate mass. To do this you should:
- Break the dark chocolate bars into small pieces, place them in a deep bowl and place it in a water bath.
- Stir with a spoon or spatula until the chocolate has completely melted. The mass must be removed from the heat and allowed to cool to room temperature. It should be viscous and homogeneous.
- Fill the syringe with cooled chocolate and apply the chocolate evenly to the walls of the mold.
- Place the mold in the refrigerator for 1-1.5 hours.
- While the chocolate in the mold is cooling, melt the white chocolate.
- Remove the mold, fill the syringe with white chocolate and cover the sides of the egg with a second layer. You should try to touch the mold with your hands as little as possible so that the chocolate does not melt from their heat. Be sure to use gloves.
- Place in the refrigerator again for 1 hour.
- The finished egg ladles need to be removed from the mold and a surprise placed in one half. Wash toys and other inedible gifts first with soap and water and rinse with clean water.
- Heat a spoon in hot water and run the back side along the edge of the egg halves, connecting them.
- Use the remaining dark chocolate to coat the joint area so that the halves stick together.
The egg is ready. To achieve complete resemblance to a factory Kinder Surprise, you should wrap it. For this you will need foil. From it you need to cut two pieces in the shape of an egg, adding 10 cm to them from the edges. Place the egg on one piece and fold the edges. Place the second one on top and press lightly. Stick the inscription “Kinder Surprise” on top, and the sweet gift is ready.
Cooking an egg using a ball
To cook an egg you will need a durable ball without patterns. It needs to be washed and dried from the inside (this can be done conveniently with a hair dryer). Prepare the chocolate mass and start creating the egg:
- Remove the tip from the syringe and pull the ball onto it. Pull out the plunger and inflate the balloon to the desired size.
- Using a spoon, pour the chocolate into the ball.
- The filled ball must be carefully tied and rotated until the chocolate is distributed evenly over the walls.
- The ball should be placed on a plate with its tail facing up.
- Prepare white chocolate.
- When the ball hardens, remove the workpiece.
- Cut off the top, remove the ball, being careful not to damage the walls of the egg.
- Distribute white chocolate along the walls, making sure to spread the top as well.
- Place in the refrigerator again.
- Place a gift into the finished egg, connect and seal the halves.
- Pack the kinder surprise as in the first preparation option, or come up with your own packaging option.
Watch the video on how to make a large chocolate kinder surprise with your own hands:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tazsdkstk0U A large surprise egg, prepared by the hands of a loving mother or grandmother, is the best gift for a child.
We make beautiful packaging
To make it look like a branded item, you need to make the original packaging. We cut out 2 oval parts from a sheet of foil with an allowance of 10 cm. Along the bottom of the blanks we draw a wave of red paint using a spray can.
We paint the remaining parts of the ovals with white, covering the red side of the workpiece so as not to stain it. Place the product sideways in the center on 1 sheet of foil, cover with another sheet, carefully sealing the edges.
We print out the original sticker from the computer and attach it with adhesive tape.
DIY massager
And to create this device you will need a lot of containers! Those with a sweet tooth will definitely appreciate it. This massager can give a small massage to your arms, legs and back.
Required:
- 12 plastic containers;
- fishing line;
- rope;
- scissors;
Creation scheme:
Holes are made on both sides of the container. A fishing line is threaded through the holes and the containers are connected to each other.
A rope is threaded into the outer containers, which will serve as the handles of the device.
This is how you get a wonderful assistant - a massager, which is made from unnecessary things, or, more simply, garbage.
New Year's deer from a glass jar with candies
We really love various chocolate-covered marmalades and nuts. But we don’t indulge in them very often. Therefore, this is a good idea for a gift, but they need to be packaged beautifully. And for this I propose to make such a funny deer.
Master class No. 4. Candy in a jar with a deer
Let's take:
- jar,
- candies,
- felt,
- thermo gun,
- fluffy wire,
- elements for eyes and nose.
Again we need a transparent jar. It is better to choose those that have sloping sides. They can be glass or plastic, it doesn't matter.
Now cut out a strip of at least 4 cm wide from brown felt.
If you have a label, then the width of the strip should be at least as wide as the width of the label. The length is equal to the diameter of the can.
Glue the strip to the place where the label was or is. Now we draw or glue the finished eyes and nose. Pompoms and beads can serve as them.
We twist the horns from shaggy wire and fix them on the lid of the jar.
Place your favorite candies and marmalades inside. And we're all ready!
Look, I found an even simpler idea that doesn’t even require felt!
A very unusual solution! Also, such packaging can become a decoration for the New Year's table.
